my corn snake is about 2 years old, and not the biggest
shes about 2 feet long and about as fat as a 20p
the vet assured me she wasnt pregnant and was simply in season,
(i saw a vet because she stopped eating and had become extremely active)
however today she blessed us with 6 eggs but i dont know what to look for as far as if theyre fertile, theyre white and fairly hard with a leathery feel, one is quite soft to touch but white just the same, theyre all of similar size, about 33mm long and probably about as fat as a penny
ive incubated them as best i can untill tomorow when i can buy some proper equipment
theyre in a faunarium inside the viv in moss, i kept the eggs facing the same way up and at the same angle i found them in
any questions just ask, i just want to know if theyre ok and if im doing the right thing / what to do next? |

| Sounds like they look good, slugs are usuallly more yellow, if i were you i'd incubate them and wait and see. |

| PS. Do you know how she became gravid and has she passed all the eggs? - It can be very dangerous for a young snake. |
